Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Pet Care, Day or Night
What sets me apart from other sitters is my unique blend of professional veterinary experience and hands-on pet care skills. As a vet tech, I’m trained in nail trimming, administering medications, and recognizing early signs of illness or stress. I have experience with basic obedience training and naturally pick up on canine communication and body language, which helps me connect with pets quickly. As a self-taught groomer for my poodle, I can provide light grooming and coat care. I’m also patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved.

Safety, trust & environment
In both my home and a client’s home, I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, walk routine, and daily habits to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive, proactive, and provide plenty of playtime, cuddles, and conversation to make pets feel loved. I also have given light grooming, including occasional haircuts, baths, and blow dries, so pets can look and feel their best. Every pet gets individualized attention, treats when allowed, and the comfort of a safe, caring environment where they can relax and nap peacefully.
Ratings and reviews
I’ve known Shakoya since we were kids, and one thing that has never changed is her love for animals. She’s always had a natural bond with pets ,caring for them with so much patience, kindness, and genuine joy. This isn’t just something she does on the side, it’s truly her passion. Shakoya treats every animal like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I can say with confidence that any pet in her care will be in the best hands possible. She has the sweetest, most patient personality, and she treats every pet like they’re her own. I’ve seen firsthand how responsible and attentive she is, whether it’s making sure a dog gets the exercise it needs, or simply giving extra cuddles and comfort. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Shakoya looking after their furry family members.

Schedule
Pet care fits into my routine alongside my responsibilities as a full-time college student and my job as a veterinary technician with VIP Pet mobile clinic. On Mondays, my two labs keep me busy until 4 p.m., so I’m unavailable then. From Tuesday through Friday, I’m free after 2 p.m., which gives me flexibility to provide reliable, attentive care for pets. This schedule allows me to balance school, work, and pet sitting while ensuring availability during afternoons and evenings.
